In what could quite possibly be one of the meanest TV spoofs ever, tonight sees the US launch of I Wanna Marry Harry.

The premise is simple enough: 12 bubbly American gals fight it out tooth and nail for the affections and hand in marriage of, um, Prince Harry. Only it’s not Prince Harry.  And no-one will be getting married, either (sorry Bea, put that pretzel hat down).

And once you suspend your disbelief, (I mean, seriously, did they REALLY think Prince Harry would appear on a dating show?) it all looks rather spiffing.

Fox have released a promo of the show – which airs in the UK later this year – which sees Harry-alike Matthew Hicks frolic, cavort and snog his way through a series of ‘dates’ as he tries to find his perfect princess.

Will it end it tears? Well, this is American TV, after all, so expect plenty of blubbing, super-white teeth and cut-glass English accents. ‘Cos we all talk like that, don’t we?

Unsurprisingly, there’s been no official comment from the Prince on his pseudo-shenanigans. One thing’s for sure though, her Maj will not be amused!
